Doctor Who X Sarah Jane Adventures Crossover

Lost to Technology

Part Two

In the Tardis Sarah Jane's eyes wandered around the interior of the console room. She found the chalkboards to be a nice addition to the ship. The Tardis continued humming happily as Sarah walked around the console room. She smiled as she laid her hands on the console it felt so good to be on this ship again.

"I've missed you too old girl." Sarah Jane said aloud.

The Doctor turned a few knobs and pressed various kinds of buttons. With the Tardis happy he had no issues putting in the coordinates. A small smile tugged at the corner of his cheek as he watched Sarah Jane looking around the Tardis. It felt good to have Sarah back it felt like old times. The Doctor pulled away from the controls and took a long deep breath as he clapped his hands together.

"So what do you think?" The doctor asked.

Sarah Jane looked around once more before laying her eyes back on the Doctor.

"It's not bad, I like the chalkboards." Sarah Jane said.

The time lord nodded while he was glad she liked the new look of the Tardis his mind was on the problem at hand.

"Brink Tech…" The Doctor said.

"Brink Technologies appeared a few months ago it drawled people in with its low prices and affordable deals. In over two months it conquered the electronic marketplace with tablets and phones being its huge selling point." Sarah informed him.

The Doctor nodded absorbing all the information as he pushed a few buttons. Within seconds a holographic screen appeared showing a Brink commercial. The moment Sarah Jane looked at the screen she felt a slight headache form across her forehead. The Doctor felt something as well while watching the commercial, it was as if someone or something was trying to control his mind. He looked over to Sarah thinking she would be consumed by the commercial instead it caused her pain. The Doctor found this interesting but he quickly turned it off.

"You okay?" The Doctor asked.

"Yeah just a slight headache no big deal." Sarah Jane replied.

The Doctor found this interesting to find someone not pulled in by this technology's mind control. There first order of business was to get their hands on one of Brink's devices.

The Tardis materialized in Ealing once more but this time it was a block away from a Brink store . As the two of them emerged from the Tardis The Doctor noticed the rest of the stores were closed, but Brinks was open and loaded with people. Sarah and the Doctor looked at each other,he took a hold of her hand and walked inside the store.

The Brink store was large it had over twenty aisles filled with different electronics from vacuums, video games, televisions and so on. The Doctor kept his eyes on Sarah like it or not she was his beacon and he had a strange feeling she knew it too. As the two of them stood in front of aisle twelve Sarah felt a small painful throbbing sensation across her forehead. The Doctor noticed his companion's discomfort so he looked up at the sign which read phones and tablets they were in the right place. The timelord continued to keep his eye on Sarah Jane as they walked down the aisle. The aisle was quiet as kids and adults alike were glue to the tablets and phones. Some people were buying them while others just sat there playing on them. The Doctor's eyes wandered over to one of the tablets, he let go of Sarah's hand and moved toward the silver electronic device to get a better look at it.

Pushing past her pain Sarah looked at the Doctor he examined the device and looked confused. Then he looked around at the other people in the aisle whose eyes were glued to the devices.

"Every device is the same…if it's not the device than what has everyone so hooked?" The doctor asked himself.

The Doctor noticed Sarah was by his side again trying to hide her discomfort. He didn't understand what could be causing her so much pain and why did he also feel such a strong pull from this rectangular device.

"Hello welcome to Brinks can I help you?" a cheerful voice asked.

The Doctor looked up to see a smiling brunette with sea blue eyes wearing a silver shirt with the Brinks red logo on the left side. His eyes looked to her name badge which said Heather in big red letters. The Doctor was caught off guard by the woman while her features looked sincere her blue eyes looked soulless perhaps they were talking to a shell a mere puppet that's only job was to sell the merchandise.

Seeing The Doctor was not going to say anything Sarah decided to speak up instead.

"Yes Heather we would like to buy this tablet." Sarah Jane said as pleasantly as possible.

Heather's smile grew even bigger the moment she heard that, she automatically walked over and pulled out a fresh new tablet and turned it on. The moment the network was connected Sarah Jane felt the throbbing in her head increase. Trying her best not to double over in pain she squeezed the Doctor's hand in hopes of getting his attention. The timelord shook himself out of his daze, he glanced over seeing the pain Sarah was in it was time to wrap this up and fast. The Doctor pulled out five-hundred pounds and set it on the table. Heather smiled she grabbed the money and turned to process the payment. When she turned back around to get their personal information her customers were gone. Shrugging it off Heather proceeded to finish the payment by typing in the word unknown.

At Brinks headquarters at the main desk a woman with shoulder length red hair and green eyes wearing a red and silver business dress was busying typing on her computer. She looked in the data base of the latest purchases when something caught her attention.

"Unknown?" The woman said aloud.

In a matter of moments her phone rang, the woman collected as much information as she could and sent it in an email to her boss before holding the phone up to her ear.

"How is the processing going?" the voice asked over the phone.

"We seemed to have an Unknown in the database." The red haired woman said.

"I see... " The voice asked.

I have emailed you the details." The red haired woman replied.

Thank you." the voice said before hanging up.

In the office sitting at a desk with a name tag reading S. Smith was a woman with long raven hair wearing a casual black business suit. Her eyes widen as a smile crept across her face when she opened up her latest email . As she scrolled down the message she looked at the photo of a familiar female journalist and silver hair stranger.

"…Well you've finally made your move Sarah Jane Smith."
